Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Halls, stores and units around places like Barnham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

About our mastic sealing in Barnham
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and water getting in round frames after rain. Searching for sealant specialists in Barnham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For owners with a single building near Barnham, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to call us in Barnham
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Typical triggers for a call:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), 3.1 miles south-west of Barnham, is normally managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Block-wide mastic in Barnham
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Barnham. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as Barnham Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Barnham: questions and answers
Is Sussex Business Village, near Barnham, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Barnham, Sussex Business Village among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can being near the sea in Barnham affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
